Rachel Hoffman: Police Sting Gone Wrong 20/20 (Lies)
excuse me if I don't shed a tear for a woman who whored herself out to her enemies by trying to ruin more innocent people's lives to save herself.
Ruin more innocent people's lives? You mean the guys who were selling drugs, the guys who were selling handguns, or the guys who killed her? We need to work on our definition of innocent here cuz no one here is innocent.
What happened before Code Pink was Hit? Here it is.
Its legal to defend yourself against a cop...hell you can kill a cop if they are arresting you and you are innocent.
Happened a few years back, guy got off any charges at all.
Wait, what? You can't be serious. What country is that in?

MythBusters: CPU vs GPU.. or Paintball Cannons are Cool!!!
If your games are running slow, a lot of the time upgrading the video card will help. Take my system, it's almost 3 years old, a 2.2GHz AMD 64 X2 with a Geforce 7800GT. It could barely play BioShock on the lowest settings. After the GPU upgrade I can now play BioShock with all settings maxed and get higher FPS than the old GPU on the lowest settings.
That's true, it often will help, but not always. My brother upgraded his video card recently only to find that his CPU was creating the bottleneck for him and not his GPU. That's the myth that I worry this video spreads.

Please be serious. It'd be awesome if you were that dumb.
Seems needlessly vicious. Not everyone is a computer wiz.
That's the thing: I actually am a computer whiz.
Anyway, I understand all that, but nothing here explains that. All it says, as I explained to budzos, is CPU vs. GPU, not that rendering is involved or anything else. This creates the message that GPU's are just plain faster and not just at rendering graphics. Also note that this is from NVision.
CPU's with 8 cores are now hitting the market. The reason for this is because they have been hitting the peak of current architecture on single-core chips and still wanted to expand. The reason GPU's have been doing this for a while and not CPU's is because GPU's have a different functions than CPU's do. GPU's tend to do fairly simple floating-point equations (but a LOT of them), that's why you can fit 280 parallel stream onto a card like that. On the other hand, any other type of work is better calculated by the CPU. I understand all this, I understand what kind of point they were trying to make, but everyone who would grasp that from this video already KNOWS that. Anyone who didn't would just see "wow, video cards are WAY faster than processors. If my PC games are running slow, I just need a faster video card."
Bottom line: I get the idea, I just think it's badly presented, but still kinda cool to see that paintball gun.

I appreciate criticism for my comments, but not when I get it in the form of an unfounded statement that really says nothing objective at all. Saying, "you must be joking" is really not an argument at all.
In reply to this comment by budzos:
Sure. It's dumb because of two things. First, a demonstration that GPU rendering is faster than CPU rendering is not "propaganda". It's a fact that GPU rendering is much faster. Do you also say that videos are "banned" when they are pulled from the air by the company who created them?
Second, the poster is making a joke. The presentation is not related to computers at all. If you know what "GPU rendering" means, which you must if you think this is "propaganda", I don't see how you can miss that painting with one gun is like rendering with the CPU, and painting with a 1000 nozzles at once is like rendering with the GPU. See now I feel dumb just for explaining it.

I'd love to hear the explanation for this comment.

Cool project, but seems like propaganda to me. Why is that a GPU vs. a CPU?
Please be serious. It'd be awesome if you were that dumb.
